CEEW Study Highlights LPG Usage Challenges Among Rural and Migrant Households in India
A Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) study found that while 73% of rural Indian households used LPG in the past 90 days, only 23% relied on it exclusively, with many still using firewood. Challenges include affordability, last-mile delivery, and formal access, especially for migrant workers, 79% of whom lack formal LPG connections. The study highlights the need for policies focusing on sustained LPG usage, affordable refills, and improved delivery to reduce reliance on polluting fuels.
